MPC Lunar Patrol, Part 18 - The Final Decals

This morning, I was up at 4 a.m. merrily affixing the final decal to one of the gliders.  This is a remake of the same decal I hopelessly muffed up on a week ago, and had to discard.  This time things went very smoothly.


I also managed to apply some CA to the end of the booster tube, and get the shock cord and mount glued in place.
All that remains on this build is to apply some sealant over the decals, shoot a finish coat of black paint on the glider noses, take the gliders out to a nearby field for hand-toss glide trimming, and glue the noses in place. 
It's been  a long drawn out build, but I greatly anticipate seeing this model finally take to the air under rocket power!
